BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Liquid crystal displays (LCDs) have been widely applied in electrical products. Currently, most LCDs are backlight type LCDs that comprise a liquid crystal display panel and a backlight module. According to the position of the light sources for providing LCDs with backlight, the backlight module can be classified into a side-light type or a direct-light type to provide a backlight for the liquid crystal display panel.

In general, light sources of the backlight module are light emitting diodes (LEDs) or cold cathode fluorescent lamps (CCFLs) which need phosphors to form white light rays which have a poorer color performance and a narrower color gamut, and thus it is difficult to achieve a real color of images. Furthermore, the light sources of the backlight module have a high energy consumption, especially for a large-size LCD.

As a result, it is necessary to provide a backlight module and a display apparatus to solve the problems existing in conventional technologies such as above-mentioned.

Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing a display apparatus according to one embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram showing a backlight module according to one embodiment of the present invention. In the present embodiment, the backlight module 100 is disposed opposite to a display panel 101 (such as a liquid crystal display panel), thereby forming the display apparatus (such as an LCD apparatus). The backlight module 100 comprises a plurality of optical fibers 111, a fiber light-outputting substrate 120, a light guide plate 130, a light collector 140, a back bezel 150, a reflective layer 160, at least one optical film 170 and a plurality of fiber fixing collars 180. The optical fibers 111 are connected to the light collector 140 for transmitting light rays. The fiber light-outputting substrate 120 is disposed between the optical fibers 111 and the light guide plate 130 for providing the light rays transmitted by the optical fibers 111 or emitted by a plurality of light sources 122 to the light guide plate 130. The light collector 140 is connected to the optical fibers 111 for collecting ambient light rays, such as sunlight or indoor light, so as to provide the light rays for the optical fibers 111. The light guide plate 130 is disposed on the back bezel 150, and the reflective layer 160 is formed between the back bezel 150 and the light guide plate 130 for reflecting the light rays. The optical film 170 is disposed above the light guide plate 130 for optical improvement. The fiber fixing collars 180 are attached to light-emitting ends 112 of the optical fibers 111, respectively, for fixing the optical fibers 111 to the fiber light-outputting substrate 120.

Referring to FIG. 2 again, the optical fibers 111 of the present embodiment can be bundled by a cover, so as to form an optical fiber bundle 110, thereby making it easier to be connected to the light collector 140. One end of the optical fiber bundle 110 is connected to the light collector 140, and the un-bundled optical fibers 111 are connected to the fiber light-outputting substrate 120.

Referring to FIG. 3, a schematic diagram showing the optical fiber according to one embodiment of the present invention is illustrated. Each of the optical fibers 111 may have a fiber core 113, a cladding layer 114 and a buffer layer 115. The fiber core 113 may be made of silica or PMMA for transmitting the light rays. The cladding layer 114 may be made of a hard polymer for cladding the fiber core 113. The buffer layer 115 may be made of tetrafluoroethene for protecting the optical fibers 111 from damage.

Referring to FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram showing the optical fiber and the fiber light-outputting substrate according to one embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 5 is a partially enlarged view showing the backlight module according to one embodiment of the present invention. The fiber light-outputting substrate 120 of the present embodiment is disposed between the optical fibers 111 and the light guide plate 130. The substrate of the fiber light-outputting substrate 120 may be a circuit board which comprises a plurality of light-outputting openings 121 and a plurality of light sources 122. The light-outputting openings 121 and the light sources 122 are disposed to face a light input side surface 133 of the light guide plate 130 for providing the light rays for the light guide plate 130. The light-outputting openings 121 may be through holes for exposing the light-emitting ends 112 of the optical fibers 111, such that the light rays transmitted by the optical fibers 111 can be outputted to the light guide plate 130 by the light-outputting openings 121 of the fiber light-outputting substrate 120. In this case, an arrangement pitch of the light-outputting openings 121 may be equal to or less than 16 mm, so as to ensure that the light rays are dispersedly emitted into the light guide plate 130 for forming a uniform plane light source. A diameter (or a width) of each of the light-outputting openings 121 may be equal to or less than 2.5 mm, such that the light rays transmitted by the optical fibers 111 can be entirely outputted by the light-outputting openings 121.

In this embodiment, the light sources 122 may be LEDs or organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs). The light sources 122 may be arranged between the light-outputting openings 121. When the light rays collected by the light collector 140 are not sufficient to provide for forming the plane light source, the light sources 122 of the fiber light-outputting substrate 120 can provide additional light rays for the light guide plate 130, so as to ensure that the backlight formed by the backlight module 100 has a sufficient brightness. More specifically, when a luminous intensity of the light rays outputted by the light-outputting openings 121 of the fiber light-outputting substrate 120 is lower than a predetermined threshold value, the light sources 122 of the fiber light-outputting substrate 120 are turned on to emit light rays for compensating the brightness of the backlight module 100.

Referring to FIG. 6, a control block diagram showing a luminous intensity detector and a processer according to one embodiment of the present invention is illustrated. The backlight module 100 can further comprise the luminous intensity detector 191 for detecting the luminous intensity. The luminous intensity detector 191 may disposed inside the backlight module 100, such as on the fiber light-outputting substrate 120 or inside the back bezel 150. When the luminous intensity of the light rays transmitted by the optical fibers 111 is sufficient, such as when the luminous intensity detected by the luminous intensity detector 191 is higher than the predetermined threshold value, the light sources 122 are turned off without emitting light for saving power. When the luminous intensity of the light rays transmitted by the optical fibers 111 is not sufficient, such as when the luminous intensity detected by the luminous intensity detector 191 is lower than the predetermined threshold value, the intensity detector 191 can transmit a detection signal to the processer 192 of the backlight module 100. Subsequently, the processer 192 can control the light sources 122 to emit light according to the detection signal for compensating the brightness of the backlight module 100. Moreover, the processer 192 can adjust a current of the light sources 122 (such as LEDs) according to the detection signal for controlling the luminous intensity of the light sources 122, and thus the light guide plate 130 can form a plane light source of a constant brightness.

Referring to FIG. 1 again, the light guide plate 130 of the present embodiment is disposed at one side of the fiber light-outputting substrate 120. The light guide plate 130 may be made by the method of injection molding, and the material thereof may be photo-curable resin, polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) or polycarbonate (PC) for guiding the light rays transmitted by the optical fibers 111 toward the liquid crystal display panel 101. The light guide plate 130 includes a light output surface 131, a light reflection surface 132 and the light input side surface 133. The light output surface 131 is formed on one side of the light guide plate 130 and faces to the liquid crystal display panel 101. The light output surface 131 may include a cloudy surface or a plurality of scattering patterns to uniform the light rays outputted from the light guide plate 130, thereby preventing the situation of mura. In another embodiment, the light output surface 131 may include a plurality of protruding structures (not shown) to modify the direction of the light rays, thereby condensing the light rays and enhancing a brightness thereof, wherein the protruding structures may be prism-shaped structures or semicircle-shaped structures. The light reflection surface 132 is formed opposite to the light output surface 131 for reflecting light thereto. In the present embodiment, the light reflection surface 132 of the light guide plate 130 is parallel to the light output surface 131. The light reflection surface 132 may have a plurality of light guiding structures (not shown) formed thereon to guide light to the light output surface 131. The light guiding structures of the light reflection surface 132 may be a continuous V-shaped structure, i.e. V-cut structures, a cloudy surface or scattering patterns, thereby guiding the light rays transmitted by the optical fibers 111 to be outputted from the light output surface 131. The light input side surface 133 may be formed on one side or two opposite sides of the light guide plate 130 and facing the light-outputting openings 121 of the fiber light-outputting substrate 120 for allowing the light rays transmitted by the optical fibers 111 to be inputted into the light guide plate 130. The light input side surface 133 may have V-shaped structures (V-cut structures), S-shaped structures or a rough surface structure (not shown) to raise light incidence efficiency and light coupling efficiency.

Referring to FIG. 2 again, the light collector 140 can be disposed outside the display apparatus (such as outdoors or indoors) and connected to one end of the optical fiber bundle 110 for collecting the ambient light, such as sunlight. The light collector 140 can include a base 141, an optical lens 142, a photo-sensor 143 and a cover 144. The optical lens 142 and the photo-sensor 143 can be disposed on the base 141. The optical lens 142 is configured to collect the ambient light and provide the collected light rays to an input end 116 of the optical fiber bundle 110. The photo-sensor 143 is configured to detect the ambient light for controlling the base 141 to rotate according an ambient light source, such as sun, thereby improving a light collection efficiency. The cover 144 is configured to encapsulate the optical lens 142 and the photo-sensor 143. Furthermore, the cover 144 may have an ultraviolet ray filter layer (not shown) to filter ultraviolet rays in the ambient light rays.

Referring to FIG. 1 again, in the present embodiment, the back bezel 150 may be made of an opaque material, such as plastic, metal or any combination material thereof for carrying the fiber light-outputting substrate 120 and the light guide plate 130, wherein the back bezel 150 may have through holes (not shown) to allow the optical fibers 111 to pass through. The reflective layer 160 (or a reflective sheet) is preferably formed on the light reflection surface 132 of the light guide plate 130, and merely exposes the light input side surface 133 for allowing light to be inputted and the light output surface 131 allowing light to be outputted. The reflective layer 160 may be made of a highly reflective material, such as any combination of alloys Ag, Al, Au, Cr, Cu, In, Ir, Ni, Pt, Re, Rh, Sn, Ta, W, Mn, and a white reflective paint with etiolation-resistant and heat-resistant properties or any combination thereof for reflecting light. The optical film 170 may be a diffuser, a prism sheet, a turning prism sheet, a brightness enhancement film (BEF), a dual brightness enhancement film (DBEF), a diffused reflective polarizer film (DRPF) or any combination thereof disposed above the light guide plate 130 for improving an optical effect of light rays outputted from the light guide plate 130.

Referring to FIG. 7 and FIG. 8, schematic diagrams showing an assembly of the optical fibers and the fiber fixing collars according to one embodiment of the present invention are illustrated. The fiber fixing collars 180 of the present embodiment may be made of a plastic or metal material. Preferably, the fiber fixing collars 180 are made of a soft material, such as silica gel or rubber, so as to prevent the optical fibers 111 from scratches or any damage. Each of the fiber fixing collars 180 includes a through hole 181, a bonding surface 182 and an extending portion 183. The optical fibers 111 can be inserted in the through holes 181 of the fiber fixing collars 180 and exposing the light-emitting ends 112 thereof. The bonding surface 182 is configured to bond the surface of the fiber light-outputting substrate 120, so as to secure the fiber fixing collars 180 to the fiber light-outputting substrate 120. The through hole 181 can be formed inside the extending portion 183. The extending portion 183 may be tubular for a portion of the optical fiber 111 close to the light-emitting end 112, so as to prevent the portion of the optical fiber 111 close to the light-emitting end 112 from being bent, thereby ensure a light transmitting efficiency of the optical fiber 111.

Referring to FIG. 7 through FIG. 11, FIG. 9, FIG. 10 and FIG. 11 are schematic diagrams showing an assembly of the fiber light-outputting substrate and the fiber fixing collars according to one embodiment of the present invention. When using the fiber fixing collars 180 to assemble the optical fibers 111 and the fiber light-outputting substrate 120, the optical fibers 111 are first inserted into the through holes 181 of the fiber fixing collars 180 and exposing the light-emitting ends 112 thereof. At this time, each of the optical fibers 111 can have a marked line 117 for marking the position of the light-emitting ends 112. When exposing the light-emitting ends 112 of the optical fibers 111, the marked lines 117 of the optical fibers 111 can be aligned with the opening edges of the through holes 181, thereby precisely positioning the light-emitting ends 112 to the fiber fixing collars 180. In this case, the optical fibers 111 can be attached to the fiber fixing collars 180 by an adhesive. After assembling the optical fibers 111 and the fiber fixing collars 180, subsequently, the exposing light-emitting ends 112 can be correspondingly inserted into the light-outputting openings 121 of the fiber light-outputting substrate 120, and the bonding surfaces 182 of the fiber fixing collars 180 can be bonded to the surface of the fiber light-outputting substrate 120 by welding or adhering, thereby attaching and positioning the optical fibers 111 to the fiber light-outputting substrate 120.

It is worth mentioning that the bonding surface 182 of the fiber fixing collars 180 may be bonded to the back bezel 150. Referring to FIG. 5 again, in this case, the light-emitting ends 112 can pass through the through holes 181 of the fiber fixing collars 180, corresponding through holes (not shown) of the back bezel 150 and the light-outputting openings 121 of the fiber light-outputting substrate 120.

When using the backlight module 100 of the present embodiment to provide a backlight source, the optical fibers 111 can transmit the light rays (such as sunlight) collected by the light collector 140 to the light guide plate 130. More specifically, the light rays collected by the light collector 140 can be transmitted by the optical fibers 111, and outputted to the light guide plate 130 from the light-outputting openings 121 of the fiber light-outputting substrate 120. The backlight module 100 can use the ambient light to provide the backlight source, thereby greatly reducing an energy consumption of light sources. Moreover, the ambient light (such as sunlight) can have a wide color gamut, and thus the display apparatus using the backlight module 100 can display images of real color for improving a display quality thereof. In addition, when the ambient light is not sufficient, the light sources 122 of the fiber light-outputting substrate 120 can emit light to compensate the brightness, and thus the backlight module 100 can provide a backlight source of a constant brightness. Furthermore, with the use of the fiber fixing collars 180, the light-emitting ends 112 of the optical fibers 111 can be precisely positioned and secured to the fiber light-outputting substrate 120, thereby ensuring a high efficiency for light energy utilization.

Referring to FIG. 12 and FIG. 13, schematic diagrams showing an assembly of the optical fibers and the fiber fixing collars according to another embodiment of the present invention are illustrated. In another embodiment, each of the fiber fixing collars 180 can comprise a plurality of hooks 184, and the fiber light-outputting substrate 120 further includes a plurality of fixing holes 123 for latching the hooks 184 of the fiber fixing collars 180. Therefore, with the use of the hooks 184 and the fixing holes 123, the fiber fixing collars 180 can be attached to the fiber light-outputting substrate 120 without welding or adhering.

As described above, the backlight module and the display apparatus of the present invention can collect the ambient light rays to form the backlight source, thereby greatly reducing an energy consumption of light sources, as well as improving an image color performance and a display quality of the display apparatus. In addition, when the ambient light is not sufficient, the light sources of the fiber light-outputting substrate can emit light to compensate the brightness, so as to ensure that the backlight source of the backlight module can have a sufficient brightness. Furthermore, with the use of the fiber fixing collars, the light-emitting ends of the optical fibers can be precisely positioned and secured to the fiber light-outputting substrate, thereby ensuring a high efficiency for light energy utilization.
